      How dare you not pay back those poor vultures who bought your debt from another sketchy company that bought your debt from a predatory lender whose whole business model was tricking 17 year old kids into signing up for something they were sold as the only way to better their lives?
      That's literally what it boils down to and yet boomers who went to college for less than a crappy 20 year old used car costs now. They're feeling the pain of selling their souls to capitalism now though. The big difference is that they got to own a home, buy a new car every 3 years, have a family, go on vacations every year, etc. We just get to live in crappy 1 bed apartments we can barely afford and survive on a diet rice and beans while billionaires are buying a second yacht and a third vacation home. Ain't capitalism just the best? 😔

    The "college can be free you just have to get scholarships" aspect is delusional as fuck. Scholarship money can usually only cover a portion of costs AND is usually awarded to only the top 10% of high school students (if even that). It's like saying less than 10% of the population should attend any college.

    Y'all don't realize just how dumb the "just get a scholarship for being smart" argument is.
    I'm lucky that I had parents who a) told me to never EVER take out student loans with interest rates I couldn't feasibly pay back in a couple years and b) forced me to study and get good grades and do a TON of extracurriculars. It worked and I ended up getting a full ride for academics/sports. They told me the only feasible way I could get to college (and not be in serious debt) would be a scholarship. However, it's completely improbable and unfair to expect all students who can't afford college to do that.
    First off, not everyone is going to have parents as forward thinking as mine. Some kids don't have parents or teachers that prep them for higher education at all. Yet I believe those kids are just as deserving of a college education as me.
    Second off, I had to work insanely hard- harder than anyone should have to for something as basic as an affordable education. I didn't have a child hood, I had good grades. I didn't have friends, I had resume builders. I didn't get to relax, I had to go to 5 different clubs or lessons or activities that I HATED. I didn't get summer, I was doing extra lessons, etc. I was burnt out and suicidal with no friends by the time I was 18.
    Its the one thing I kinda resent my parents for, pushing me so hard I didn't get to be a kid, even if I understood why they did it looking back.
    College ended up being an amazing reprieve for me. For the first time in my life, I got to choose classes and hobbies I was interested in. I was able to make friends and go to parties and watch movies on the weekends instead of going to lessons. College was a crucial point of social and personal development for me, and I'm so glad that I got to experience it. I just wish it hadn't been so hard to get there. That's the crux of the problem with saying "just go get a scholarship," people don't realize it's REALLY REALLY hard to get one. And for some reason, the only other option in the USA is to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars.
    College, and education in general, shouldn't be something that the rich can only afford. It shouldn't be something kids have to give up their entire childhoods and break their backs for just so they can have a CHANCE at receiving a scholarship. College definitely shouldn't be something that puts people in debt for the rest of their lives. It should be affordable, accessible, and available to all.

    I went to university in Spain and I paid around 700e per year and that is because my family was well off. Many of my classmates were much poorer and they got things like housing and tuition stipendiums from both the national and the regional governments. Now I am colleagues with people who are in the tens of thousands, and even hundreds of thousands of dollars in student debt.
    And all of that... to land us in the same job, with the same salary. The difference is that I do not have to pay $600 per month on that.
    Physics is the same in a second tier Spanish university than in Princeton. And that hypothetical difference is even lower now that places like MIT post their lectures online for free.
    What you pay for in Harvard and the likes is for connections, not education. Ok, rich kids get to know other rich kids, and we throw a couple of smart, poor kids to keep the prestige up, and for charity. So ok, the tuition is high because everybody's dad can either pay for a whole building or is in full scholarship.
    But then it doesn't make sense that your second tier state universities still cost so much!

    About the going to school in Germany: You might get some money if your family doesnt earn much (but the conditions are often frustrating, like a friend got denied because his older brother was earning a bit too much in his apprenticeship)
    For foreign students theres also the DAAD program if Im not mistaken.
    We get the money back because when were nice to these students, many like it here, and stay. So we get well-educated workers with often high tax paying jobs. Its a win-win program.

  • @JackDespero
    @JackDespero Před 4 měsíci +19

    About only the "smart people" getting scholarships: First of all, better grades do not mean either smarter or harder worker. Some people have more free time and free mind than others. I had a relatively easy time compared to many of my peers, and I would be lying to say that my good situation was at least a part of my success. I work very hard, and for many hours, but I wouldn't have gotten where I am without luck too. That is how it is.
    And second, in Spain there are people with low income which you can renovate the following year as long as you pass your classes with a pssing grade. Your grades do not need to be stellar.
    And it makes total sense: If a 5/10 is good enough for a rich kid, it should also be enough for a poor kid. Otherwise one cannot talk about equality.
    There are scholarships for people with stellar grades too, but those are a separate set, as they should be. Mixing both together is a mistake and classism.

    Their is truth to the STEM cell argument. You don't really have loans at least with graduate school. Undergraduate if you go to UC Merced or some other schools they pay for your tuition. It is really good for STEM cells because grad school is typically paid for and you get paid to TA. While with Humanities it is the opposite.
    Primary reason is Chemistry for instance is owned by the materials industry (Plastic, Oil, Pharmaceuticals etc.) And we get our money from a massive enterprise. While something like anthropology is measly museums and libraries. Much less funding because it is not big corpa.

    The concept of “tuition” for public college is indeed crazy. I’m Norwegian and our system is not perfect (we don’t pay for college, but we DO pay for food and rent, so many will say they have “student loans” for that reason, and it can be substantial amounts, I have 20k+ for three years) but at least the government pays for 40% as a grant if you pass your classes, and there’s no insane interest. In fact I think it’s illegal to give us crazy interests like that, so I will pay roughly what I owe rather than 80% going to some fund manager so he can get another yacht for charging me criminal amounts of interest. It’s a controlled loan, I think the interest is only like 5%, and that’s because the government says they CANT go crazy high.

    well a someone raised and living in germany that also went to university for a time, you pay a fee per semester of like 300€, which covers your admittance and also in many cases gives you acces to free public transportation for the semester, some places give you a discount if you are a student, but housing and cost of living is becoming an issue so not all sunshine and daisys aver here aswell but better then the us. also we have many jobs you get into with a fellowship program, company xy needs someone to replace worker uv that is retiring in 3 years so they pay someone about 1k per month to do a split between school and working in the company to train them to take over later when they got their diploma as certified "goon or henchmen professional" and then make like 1.6k - 2.8k after taxes and insurance depending on the job. still got the housing issue if you don't have parents you can live with but still a decent option. and the one i fell back on after i flunked out of university after 3 years, i got no debt and earn 2.8k after taxes and insurance per month doing a factory job with alternating shifts.

    I agree with 97% of what Hassan said but I think there’s a bit of projection on European countries, yes the situation is vastly better but in the last 15/10 years private schools encouraged by the states get more and more widespread with prices comparable to the US. There also is still public schools and universites but they get more and more defunded and become useless if you don’t make 5 to 8 years of studies (without income) to get a correct job

    The outstanding interest capitalization thing was terrible. I had a 125k loan after grad school, I paid 40k over 4 years and my loan and because of capitalization it was at 130k
    The Covid loan freeze helped us get out of debt. It’s how we got a new roof on our house and did other super important house upgrades because I didn’t have loan payments.

    That 30k that isn’t that bad is really like 90 k because by the time you pay that third, your principal is 30k and the interest never seems to stop.

    The secret apparently is to be on a repayment plan that pays a portion of your US dollar income, then move to a country that doesn't use USD, so you have no US dollar earnings. The loophole has you paying $0 per year back, and the US government eventually forgives the loan for people who've made no repayments for years.
    Double win if you can also double-dip on Social Security payouts when you retire from both the US and your new country.

    In the UK the tories raised fees from 3K to nearly 10: you people are giving them ideas. Ireland is even worse for some reason.
    Sure, almost everywhere else in Europe uni is either free or the fees are progressive (from nothing to around 3k per year) according to your, meaning usually your family's, wealth.
    France, Italy, and Germany have great public unis, but the courses fully in English are very few and you have to be lucky in order to find a good one offering the degree (we don't declare majors two years in, we pick a subject before applying) of your choice.
    Belgium and especially Scandinavia (no, they will not pay for you to attend, they only pay their own citizens, and EU citizens, in the case of Sweden and Finland, but it's still free) have many courses and even entire unis offering derees in English, but it turns out not many people want to live there. It's cold, it's dark, and shops close at 5PM.

    34:33 - 43 : More people wouldn't become doctors because the number of doctors is artificially limited by the US government artificially limiting the number of med schools. We already have a hard limit to the number of people who can become doctors each year, specifically so that the medical profession doesn't become oversaturated like the legal profession has.

      Don’t worry, we’ll make up the difference with nurse practitioners and physician assistants instead. Then, we’ll rob them of their earned income by reminding them they are not doctors.
      As a doctor, all I see is is building workarounds to a problem of our own making so elderly incumbents can maintain their high income (for those in private practice). It also negatively affects rural medicine worse for no reason. This problem should not exist and we could easily bring back the GP role and allow graduates to work in primary care right off school. Leave residency for those actually seeking to specialize because they want to master an organ system for which they found passion and interest during prior work.
      Also, erase the racist organization called ECFMG while at it.

I walked out with a bachelor's in engineering and 40k in loans and a 70k job out of college. That cost me not getting to experience living at college life (commuted from home to save money) or being able to party during those formative years (difficult major had to study 7 days a week) . Two things I will never get back. Imo if I was able to make that decision at 17/18. Others can too and it's hard to empathize. That being said, tuition costs are predatory and some loan forgiveness should be given to everyone just to offset the bullshittingly high cost of higher education

You can be frugal and shop schools, start at a Community College and transfer, scholarships etc. I agree the loans in the US are predatory and I believe those businesses or schools should be responsible for repaying those loans of people who are unable to attain a solid paying job. But just wiping it clean from Government intervention would just subsidize demand, cause more people to want to take out loans, and these greedy big name schools will just keep raising prices. Why would you want to go to Harvard, USC, UCLA etc when they cost $70K a year?! Cause of the name? The ROI is not there. Don't do it lol
